Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 242 [241] My sister likes him, and so do I.

"Sis, I just realized you're actually quite arrogant?"

Chen Xingzhu and Chen Xingruo were both woken up by Yu Peishan for breakfast. Chen Xingruo got up late and only got up after her sister had finished washing up.

After washing up, she saw her sister waiting for her on the sofa, so she went back to her room to get her phone and then went downstairs with her sister.

As she walked up the stairs, she saw the message in the group chat, then turned to stare at Chen Xingzhu, as if she had caught him red-handed: "You got up in the middle of the night to read his report, and you're still too embarrassed to admit it?"

"I only said I had just woken up."

Chen Xingzhu calmly explained, "I didn't say I hadn't read the report."

"You're just trying to take shortcuts."

Chen Xingruo saw through her sister's thoughts at a glance. "By deliberately responding to Xie Wanqing, you achieve the goal of lying without actually lying. In essence, this is intentional on your part, so it also counts as lying."

Chen Xingzhu ignored her. Chen Guiliang and Yu Peishan greeted her, and Chen Xingyu also sat down at the table, politely greeting his two older sisters: "Big sister, second sister, come and eat."

Chen Xingzhu smiled and responded, then sat down at the table. Yu Peishan asked, "What are you talking about?"

“One of my sister’s classmates made the news on Mi Lai Jian’s channel.”

Chen Xingruo pretended that she had never mentioned this matter to them and had never betrayed her sister, "Besides, many media outlets have reported on it... Isn't that amazing?"

"Your sister's classmate?"

Yu Peishan had already been acting with Chen Xingruo before she was with Chen Guiliang, so she immediately understood what she meant and started to cooperate. "Isn't it true that they're only in their second year of high school, yet they're already being reported by foreign media?"

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Xingruo nodded vigorously. Since her phone couldn't access the internet, she took her sister's phone and showed it to Chen Guiliang and Yu Peishan, saying, "Dad, look, look."

Chen Guiliang glanced at it and asked his wife, "Can you understand it?"

Yu Peishan shook her head and smiled, "I know the letters, but I've forgotten most of the words."

Chen Guiliang then looked at Chen Xingruo and asked, "You know her?"

"Of course I know him!"

Chen Xingruo raised her chin proudly and said, "I'll translate it for you..."

She held the phone, pretending to look at it, but her mind was replaying what her sister had said last night: "There's a really popular little game on the iPhone lately..."

She wasn't a diligent student, but she had an excellent memory. She almost repeated everything Chen Xingzhu had said yesterday. She even skipped over the parts that Chen Xingzhu hadn't mentioned, saying, "The rest of the content is quite obvious, so there's no need to translate it. Just know that this person is very capable."

Yu Peishan gestured for her to sit down and eat, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that many media outlets reported on this?"

"I can't always be the one showing off."

Chen Xingruo generously said, "Sister, you can perform now. Let them know that we sisters will be excellent no matter where we are..."

Chen Xingzhu naturally didn't expose her sister's lie. She simply recounted the reports from other media outlets, and her translation was biased, only mentioning the parts praising Xu Jinhuan.

Most of the comments focused on how fun, profitable, and popular the game was, as well as mentioning Xu Jinhuan's situation, saying it was incredible that he, at only seventeen years old, could create such a game through self-study.

Yu Peishan pretended not to know and asked, "How much money can he make from this game?"

“It used to be over five thousand a day… Let me ask.”

Chen Xingruo was very proactive, holding her phone and asking questions. She quickly looked up and said, "The daily advertising fee is now over 6000!"

'So fast? '

Chen Xingzhu was pleasantly surprised. Previously, the advertising revenue of "Flappy Bird" had been stuck at the 5,000 mark for a long time. She originally thought that it would be difficult to break through 6000, but she did not expect to break through it in one go.

"so much?"

Yu Peishan exclaimed in surprise, "Almost 200,000 a month..."

She turned to look at Chen Guiliang and said with a smile, "That's pure profit for them."

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "It's really impressive."

Chen Xingruo winked at her sister, indicating that it was all her credit that Xu Jinhuan received such praise.

Chen Xingzhu rolled her eyes at her.

Seeing that Xu Jinhuan's advertisement attracted so much media attention on its first day, she decided not to seek help from Chen Guiliang anymore.

After breakfast, Chen Xingyu dragged his older sister to watch him paint. Chen Xingru made an excuse to let her older sister go, while she secretly stayed at the table. When she heard Chen Xingyu's voice coming from upstairs, she whispered to her father, "Dad, how is it?"

This is a continuation of the previous discussion about betraying one's sister.

Chen Guiliang leaned back in his chair, scrolling through Weibo discussions about "Flappy Bird" on his phone, and casually asked, "What do you mean, 'what'?"

"My sister has good taste, right?"

Chen Xingruo started to boast, "When Xu Jinhuan first started pursuing my sister, he was just an ordinary guy. My sister actually chose him from among so many more outstanding suitors. Her eye for talent is even better than a talent scout!" Yu Peishan said with a laugh, "It's not like you have good taste, so why are you so proud?"

“My sister and I have always had the same habits since we were little. Apart from the fact that I’ve been eating spicy food with you these past few years, we even have basically the same taste in food. If my sister likes him, it means I like him too!”

Chen Xingruo spoke with conviction and self-assurance, listing equations as if she were proving a problem: "So if he had pursued me back then, I would have liked him just like my sister. By the same token, my sister's good taste means that I have good taste!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Peishan glared at her, "Girls shouldn't talk nonsense. Alright, your dad knows you and your sister have good taste, and so do I. You've finished showing off, go upstairs and keep an eye on Xingyu."

"I didn't see that..."

Chen Xingruo wasn't very satisfied with her show-off performance and said, "Dad, are you going to help him or not? He's almost successful on his own now. If you don't help him, he won't need your help anymore."

"You think it's so great that he makes two or three hundred thousand a month making a small game?"

Chen Guiliang didn't really want to pick up on Xu Jinhuan's topic, but hearing his daughter say that made him furious. He finally couldn't hold back and said, "If you really want to continue making games, you have a long way to go. You've only just gotten this far, and you already think you're all grown up and don't need my help anymore?"

"Then you don't need to rush. Let's see if other people can take flight on their own."

Chen Xingruo didn't indulge her father at all, and pouted, "Maybe in the future, when they become successful, you might need their help if you encounter any difficulties."

"Do I still need his help?"

Chen Guiliang was almost driven mad by his daughter. "Even if there are any difficulties, I would rather go bankrupt and start all over again from scratch than have that Xu Jinhuan help me!"

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Chen Xingruo rolled her eyes, turned around and went upstairs to find her sister.

"Hey, how old are you? Can't you be a little more mature?"

Seeing Chen Guiliang sitting there sulking, Yu Peishan was both amused and exasperated. "Are you really sulking with your own daughter?"

"I just don't like that kid."

Chen Guiliang placed his phone, which had no case or screen protector, on the table and sighed, "In the end, it's still my fault. I thought Kong Lingyu could take good care of our daughter no matter what, but who knew..."

He sounded a little annoyed, but then he calmed himself down and said, "No matter what, not just anyone is good enough for my daughter... Xingzhu was so easily fooled by that kid because she lacked love since she was a child. This is taking advantage of her vulnerability! Such despicable behavior!"

"You've done plenty of despicable things too."

Yu Peishan rolled her eyes at him. "You haven't even met her yet, and you're already making judgments about her? Besides, Xingzhu hasn't seen you for so many years. If you really dare to do something, aren't you afraid she'll be angry with you?"

"I don't even need to meet him; I can guess what kind of person he is."

Chen Guiliang sneered, "A poor but noble son, self-reliant, precocious, thoughtful, and obsessed with saving face... If the bias in these reports was something he had already anticipated, or even premeditated, then his intentions are even more sinister."

Are you talking about yourself?

Yu Peishan made a joke at first, then realized what he meant and said incredulously, "You mean he already knew these media outlets had questionable stances and was using this opportunity to make himself famous? That's impossible, how could he, at such a young age, understand these things?"

"There are always extraordinary people in this world who are different from ordinary people. Since they are extraordinary, we should be lenient in our dealings with them."

Chen Guiliang began to imagine, "But no matter how extraordinary someone is, they can't escape objective laws. Things you haven't seen are just things you haven't seen, and things you haven't experienced are just things you haven't experienced..."

Yu Peishan asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Let him back down."

Chen Guiliang sneered, "This kid has been poor since he was a child. Suddenly he's making over 100,000 a month. He must be incredibly proud of himself. I'll show him what a real rich person is like and let him know how big the gap is between him and my daughter!"

Yu Peishan continued, "How do we let him know?"

"Wasn't the gift for Xingruo this year a car?"

Chen Guiliang smiled and said, "I haven't given Xingzhu her gift yet. I'll make it up to her now. When she leaves in a couple of days, I'll have someone send her the car too..."

He leaned back in his chair, as if he were discussing business matters, even more seriously and solemnly, as if facing a formidable enemy yet confident and in control, and said, "Xingzhu now lives upstairs in his house, so she can just park her car downstairs. She doesn't even need to drive, and she will constantly remind him of the vast difference between him and my daughter!"

"Aren't you just throwing money at it?"

Yu Peishan sighed, then suddenly burst out laughing, as if she had thought of something.

"I suddenly thought of another possibility,"

Yu Peishan laughed as she looked at his expression and asked, "What if this Xu Jinhuan isn't as concerned about his image as you say? What if you give him the car and he doesn't care at all, but instead happily drives the car you gave him, taking your daughter out to play, or even taking your daughter to and from school every day?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Chen Guiliang chuckled, "You don't understand. Every young person has a bit of pride. What kind of young person isn't ambitious? Besides, this kid is quite capable, so he'll only be more ambitious than the average person. Without that ambition, he couldn't have achieved this..."

He waved his hands repeatedly, very confidently: "The situation you described will absolutely not happen!"
